cords of different widthsor sizes and also comprises laterallyadjustable means for engaging a braid or cord already stitched to thework so as to guide the work parallel to said stitched braid or cord institching several rows of braids or cords, thus enabling the rows ofbraids or cords to be located at any desired distance apart, all as willhereinafter more fully appear.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a plan View of the improvedbraider or corder. Tig. 2 is a side View of the same looking from theleft of Fig. 1. Fi 3 is a front edge view of the same looking ttrom thebottom of 1. Fig. a is a detailplan view of the presser foot part of theattachment and its laterally;

supporting arm. Fig. 5 is a detail plan view of the adjustable guidingmember for the braid or cord already stitched to the work.

Referring to the drawings, 12 denotes a sewing machine presser foothaving a shank 18 by which it may be secured to the presser bar of asewing machine and having a lateral arm 14 which supports the adjustableguiding members. Mounted on the arm 14 is a plate 15 extending laterallyoi? the attachment and provided at its left end With a rcarwardlyextending guide 16 herein shown being construt-lc. in the form of atrough comprising two depending lips 17. The plate 151's provided with aslot lll'through which pasrms the lower end or shank of a setscrew 19and which slot also receives the body of a rivet 20 for steadying thesaid plate 15 in itsdi'h' i erent lateral positions of adjustment.

Overlying the plate 15 is a second plate 21 l'nwing a slot 22 vhich alsoreceives the shank of the set screw 19 and the body of the rivet 20,thus providing for the lateral adjustment or the said plate 21. Theplate 21 carries a down-turned guiding arm 23 which extends rearwardlyparallel to the presser foot 12, said arm having a horizontallyextending iinger 24-. The braid or cord to be attached to the work isguided in the space or passage be tween. the arm QSand the left handedge of the presser foot and beneath the finger 24, this cord or braidpassage between the said arm and presser toot being adjustable inwidtlti, to accommodate braids or cords of diderent edge oi the presserioot widths or sizes, by adjusting the plate 21 to different lateralpositions; this adinstment being conveniently effected, when the setscrew 19 is loosened, byincans of an upturned lug 25 at the left handend oil thesaid late,

21. The position of the needle oftnemadhine is indicated by the not-ch26in the right hand After the braid or. cord has been stitched to the workthe latter willbe guided parallel to the said stitched braid or cord institchin second braid or cord to the work, by the dugagementwith thestitched braid or cord by w v i the trough-hire guide it; or, ifdesired, the

work may be guidedby positioning the work in such manner that thestitched braid or cord will occupy the space between the left hand edgeof the presser foot and the right hand depending lip 17 of the guide 16.

From the foregoing it will be understood that the improvedjpresser footbraider or cordcr iormedby three sheet metal parts, so

that in manufacturing the attachments these parts may be cheaply made bystamping;

while the improved device, by the adjustments anorded by theslottedplates liand 21,w11l

accommodate different widths or sizes of braids or cords, and will alsoenable the latter to bestncned to the work at difierent dis tancesapart; I y Having tans described our invention we claim and LiQSZFO tosecure by L ":ters Patent t I k 1 .l.
